FOR FATHER.


Confidence and Afection-The Best Christi
mas GIFT Which Daughters May Be
stow.
WHAT to give papa" is always a f1cult
question in household. He Il ready has
pin-cushion or an interest in on.; and it
seems, further, that he usually has every
thing else he wants OF course his daugh-
tiers know that he might like Christmas
gifts of wealth or reputation that are be-
yond their power of giving; they may re-
aize that even fathers do not really have all
that they wish and do just as they like, but it
doesseem as though there are very few things
that fathers care for that are possible Tor
their daughters 10 give them There is one
intang bic gift which would be uncommon
ly welcome to a great many men, and that
is the confidence and affection OF their
daughters
Nonsense, says brignt-eyed girl in an
swer to this. Papa knows Pm awfully fond
of him Most girls are fond Of their fatl-
ers" Possibly, but very few of them show
1t, and the beginnings of fiial demonstra-
ton must come from the daughter if hab-
it Of reser YES has always existed between
them Much strong and helpful influence
which is now entirely missed might come
into the lives of many girls if they would
cultivate the friendship of their fathers. The
giving and receiving would be mutual aud
full Of clemens of growth for both.
It is more rare than it should
be, this relation of understand
ing friendship and companionsh q
between u father and his daughter. Tbs
little girl drifts away from her father,
often almost as soon as she is out of her
babyhood Her own interests take up her
thoughts; she thinks that her father VIII
not cure for the stories of her little pleas
ures and trials, and she turns away from
him more and more, till, by the time she is
twenty, he usuil Y has little more idea OF
her though and real life than he has of
that of her young girl companions whom
he sometimes sees shopping, or study
ing, or lunching with her. In every class
of society one sees these same lonely
fathers missing all the brightness, and
heart-comfort, and cheer to be found in
unyestrained friendsh with their own
children l. sometimes cos S a girl a good
deal of resolution to bring her courage TO
point where she can step over the barriers
of a custom of reserve and let her father
know that she cures for him in deep 7 and
more tender way than she II Is ever shown
him; in a way she won d wish she had made
him understand if tde chance was gone for
ever with his life, But it is gifJ wor h
making, and one whicl would surprise aud
delight many fathers, if begun at Christmas
time. 1t is easy for q girl to show deil OF
gushing gratitude for gifts: that is not the
thing-each one must interpret and plan for
herself how to give a 1t OF r real self 10

dren attempting to make Christmas tree
out of little green bough not more than
span long, attempting to ornament 1t by
tying to it some little pieces OF colored
paper and pieces of broken glass, the feet
beng meanwhile almost shoeless, and their
wretched home without tire, one can noG
but wish that the angel of wealth would
come to each of these little ones in the night
before Christmas and put plenty of silver
coin in each eXpectant stocking.
The modern Christmas, standing as 1t
does for the new intelligence and the new
benevolence of society, does not exhaust
itself in what is called "a good time, but it
helps create better industry, better laws,
better relations between master and serv-
ant between capital and LABOR better lit
eIature and better religion. Great news
papers and all the magazines publish Christ
mas numbers; the churches have sermons
and services full of this sympathy for man +;
the schools, secular and religious, bring for
ward at this time all of that music and lit
erature which asserts the oneness of hui
manly. That day is the peoples day.
Kings and pr sidents are placed down by
the fireside, and are fortunate II they can
point to the happiness which cheers the
home of the thrifty mechanic or farmer or
tradesman. 1t accomp .ishes more for lib
erty than does the Fourth of July, because
the July holiday only celebrates the coming
of liberty which Christmas continues from
year to year to enlarge.
Charles Dickens helped make better De-
cember for the English speak ng race; but
the garlanded December had been long
working at the human heart, and thus it
helped make Charles Dickens 1t trained
It's own workman as Liberty reared the
Washington who afterward defended her.
Thus were in a circle the causes and the eff
fects in words Like Solomon's clouds,
which condensed on the mountains and
running in streams to the sea formed again,
and as clouds sailed back to the mountains,
the amenities of tue winter holiday pour
from the heart to the age and then return
from the age to the heart. Thus progress
assumes the form of a circle and rolls for
ward like great wheel.
One hope fills all wellwishing hearts
that, as the painters and sculptors struggle
after better and better designs and works
in their fields of thought, so the millions of
young Christmas-lOvers will attempt TO sep
arate their festaldGy from the cup that
stupefes, from the extravaganza that ru ms
fortune and mind alike, and from the vanit Y
which forgets or despises the poor, and Will

Christmas has laid fast hold of the heart
Of the world 1t is the one day in all the
year when all the wore keeps holiday. You
can noJ cut Christmas out of the calendar,
and you en- not cut Christ out of Christmas
Without Him it has no real meaning 1t IS
not, perh ps, any way near the real ami
verslry of HIS birth, but that matters little;
it serves To celebrate the advent of the Son
of Man. We have no other universal ceie-
bration. Nations ring tceir bells when a
pr nee is born, or toll them when u hero
dies. England keeps very feebly the Oath
of May, the anniversary OF Victoria's b rgn;
but cares France, or Germany, or Russia?
We have loud guns and tossing banners for
the Fourth of July; but it is our National
holiday. But the birthday of the Christ is
the worlds one grand. historic treasure.
And the true moral of this season is the
Christly spirit Wlo shows love and ten

most truly celebrates the glorious CHI. stmas

GERMAN EDUCATION.
The universally OF General Intelligence
Among the Laboring Glasses.

Among the Laboring Glasses.
"The salient fact" says Samuel
Smith, M. p. who has been studying
education in Germany. (which strikes
all observers, is the universally of good
education in Germany. There is no
such thing as an uneducated class;
there are no such things, speaking
broadly, as neglected and uncared for
children. All classes of the community
are better educated than the CORE
spending ones in England; and this APP
plies quite as much to primary as to
secondary education. Nothing struck
me more than the general intelligence
of the humber working classes. Wait
ers porters, guides, etc, have knowl-
edge OF history, geography and other
subjects far beyond that possessed by
corresponding classes in England, and
the reason is not far to seek. The
whole population las long been passed
through a thorough and comprehensive
system of instruction obligatory by law
and far more extended than is given in
our elementary schools. Invent through
several Of these schools and observed
the method of teaching, which was
simply admirable. The children are
not crammed, but are taught to reason
from the earliest stages. The first OBJ
ject of the teacher is to make his pupils
comprehend the meaning of every thing
they learn, and to carry them from
stage to stage SO as to keepup an eager
interest. saw no signs of WEAKNESS
or apathy among either teachers OF
scholars. The teaching was all viva
voce, the teacher always standing be-
side the blackboard, and illustrating
subject by object lessons. The instruc-
ton was thorough, the eye and the
hand as we'll as the ear, and question
and answer succeeded so sharply as to
keep the whole class on the qui vive.'
